The internet is full of advice that ranges from brilliant to dangerous. This list focuses on categories and sources that are generally helpful starting points for research and planning.
Government & Nonprofit Resources
- U S Small Business Administration (Sba) – information on planning, funding, and managing a small business.
- Score – a nonprofit network of mentors offering free sessions and templates for business owners.
- Local Small Business Development Centers – regional programs that often provide classes and one on one help.
Finance & Accounting Education
- Professional blogs from bookkeeping and cpa firms that publish “how to” articles for small businesses.
- Educational content from reputable personal finance and business sites explaining fundamentals clearly.
Consulting & Operations Insight
- Podcasts and newsletters that focus on solo and boutique consulting firms.
- Communities where independent professionals discuss pricing, positioning, and operations in a grounded way.
Always verify advice against your own situation and, when needed, with licensed professionals. Online resources are conversation starters, not your only source of truth.
